eu needs to be told to mind their own business than worry too much of what is happening in rest of the world and stop terming others failed or successful, just reminds me of their comments and resolutions on kashmir where once they say PoK has no freedom and then to please pakistan they comment something on similar lines on J&K, though its another thing that pakistan today is in no such position to tell the eu to mind its own business when they depend on them on the aid, least we allow these countries to be the global policemen and be dictated.
pakistan has failed on a lot of fronts no doubt in that and even today they survive on international financial aid that flows into that country, or in a country where frequent outages can get people on the streets then one can only wonder what would have happened if pakistan would have defaulted on its payments due which in the end would have led to hyper inflation of one of the worst kinds.
taliban a threat seems to have been hyped up or the so-called imminent threat of pakistan's take over would have happened by now and the same hype today is being linked up with the financial aid pakistan got from the us, it is surprising even ms clinton, sect of state, has gone quite on this threat post the passage of bill of financial aid to pakistan. on a second thought, when was taliban a real threat to pakistan which at the end of the day was and is nothing more than a strategic tool of pakistani establishment, which functions directly under the isi.
past experience has shown pakistani establishment directly sheltering the top command of the taliban, where their conversations have been tapped of giving instructions to the taliban top command, or one of their maj gen seen with one such talib and at least for the moment there are no valid reasons to believe the pak army version which always has been trying to play to international/domestic tunes when the on ground situation has been very different. an army that took over 7 years to accept that men in kargil were their own or in 71 during the liberation of bangladesh this same army was supposedly winning till the time the surrender happened then there is no way on earth one can ever believe the version of pak army where they every day claim to have made substantial gains.
the way it seems now, all this drama is being played to assure financial aid to pakistan which was on the verge of being bankrupt an act ably supported by the us administration which in no way can afford pakistan to fall in the fold of prc more so given the strategic location of pakistan which is at a stone throw away distance off india and prc, which both have a potential of tipping the us as both these economies race away to take the top slot and both could emerge as a challenge to the us's super power status which could alter the world power dimensions for ever.
